This is all just some extra info I want to write down for context (will
|
|
|
|
|
eventually be put into the Demolitionist's internal database menu).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are many of these things, either related to the weapons and items
|
|
|
|
|
featured in this mod, or to some background story elements. All of these are
|
|
|
|
|
pretty much part of the "larger picture" of my multiverse, some having been
|
|
|
|
|
around since 1997 when I first started writing stories.

## Corporations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Akari Labs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Founded in the late 21st century by child prodigy Saya Miyamoto. Akari Labs
|
|
|
|
|
advertises itself as "a fountain of innovation". A major part of the technology
|
|
|
|
|
used at the time comes from here, they were the first to kickstart FTL travel,
|
|
|
|
|
along with safe teleportation energy ("after the UAC first fucked it up",
|
|
|
|
|
according to the founder). The labs have faced some controversy after the army
|
|
|
|
|
funded "Red Oni" Supersoldier project first popped up, (even though it wasn't
|
|
|
|
|
what they all expected). Recently, they've started the Demolitionist program
|
|
|
|
|
in order to develop AI-driven combat bots to defend Earth from invaders.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Blackmann Arms Ltd.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What was initially a small father and son gunsmithing shop rapidly exploded in
|
|
|
|
|
popularity and size once they moved to the States. They're mainly specialized
|
|
|
|
|
in unorthodox shotguns and very high caliber rifles. Indeed, Blackmann is the
|
|
|
|
|
name when it comes to big guns that can kill things very dead very fast.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Mr. BIG SHOT Industries
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A mysterious corporation that popped up out of nowhere, led by a very reclusive
|
|
|
|
|
individual. Most of the time it just gives funding to Blackmann Arms or
|
|
|
|
|
commissions very specific weapon designs from them, or just buys a shitload of
|
|
|
|
|
ammunition and other supplies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
People say that the man might be "preparing for the apocalypse", what with all
|
|
|
|
|
the high tech material he buys.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Decade Mechanics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This was the name seen in documents found in the decaying ruins of an abandoned
|
|
|
|
|
factory deep into the barren planet of Sunkaeze. The place is plagued by what's
|
|
|
|
|
pretty much "evil spectres" according to some. Although it cost many lives, a
|
|
|
|
|
lot of ancient alien tech was salvaged from there, including very high end
|
|
|
|
|
weaponry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Forx Aeronautics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Founded by Harold Forx, this is the #1 company when it comes to high grade
|
|
|
|
|
aircraft engineering. It is famous for its innovative jet engines that are
|
|
|
|
|
powerful yet miraculously efficient.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Imanaki Research Foundation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The name of a private research center located deep into the ghost town of
|
|
|
|
|
Kereshnovka, somewhere in Siberia. They have secretly been experimenting with
|
|
|
|
|
interdimensional travel long before the UAC, and have also delved into
|
|
|
|
|
combining human and demonic technology.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately the company went under in 2009 after the "Hellbound Incident",
|
|
|
|
|
when one of their routine teleports was hijacked by an unknown third party and
|
|
|
|
|
the facility was destroyed by an unidentified alien species. Since an UAC (UAAF
|
|
|
|
|
at the time) task force had been sent there, they managed to get their hands
|
|
|
|
|
into a lot of the research material and the rest, as they say, is history.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Munch Innovations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The registered name for everything made by a crazy inventor that challenged
|
|
|
|
|
himself to "create as many guns as I can in one week". Most of his repertoire
|
|
|
|
|
is very unorthodox and perhaps impractical, but whenever one was a big success,
|
|
|
|
|
it would enter mass production and sell like hotcakes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Symnatek
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A manufacturer of construction tools and heavy machinery. More popular than
|
|
|
|
|
Mixom, despite most people not even knowing its name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Tach-Engine Technologies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Described as "the second largest tech conglomerate on Earth". Tach-Engine
|
|
|
|
|
Industries covers pretty much everything, although it's most known for its work
|
|
|
|
|
on fusion energy... and for its weapons (of course).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Unissix Crafts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A small weapons shop run by members of the Unissix family of warriors. While
|
|
|
|
|
mostly specialized in blades and hammers and whatnot, sometimes they've done
|
|
|
|
|
firearms by request.

|
|
|
|
### Harold Forx
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The owner of Forx Industries, a "self-made" millionaire who allegedly started
|
|
|
|
|
his life as an orphan scavenging in junkyards and restoring old jet engines.
|
|
|
|
|
Always boasts about his successes and is overall a very arrogant and obnoxious
|
|
|
|
|
man.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Hermann E. Ischer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The current owner of Blackmann Arms, great-great grandson of its founder. Ever
|
|
|
|
|
since he started leading the company, he's made a rule that every weapon that
|
|
|
|
|
comes out of the factory must have some method for emptying the whole magazine
|
|
|
|
|
at once. Most people's attention is immediately drawn to his gigantic eyebrows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Ibuki Miyamoto
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The result of Akari Labs' "Red Oni" Supersoldier project. A tall, sexy and very
|
|
|
|
|
well-endowed woman who's half snark and half charm (and also a nudist). Of
|
|
|
|
|
course she was intentionally made this way by her creator, Saya Miyamoto.
|
|
|
|
|
Suffice to say, her contractors weren't very happy with this... until they saw
|
|
|
|
|
how she performed in the field.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Janus Locke Hoodth
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A mad scientist shut-in who sometimes creates "toys" that are hilariously
|
|
|
|
|
deadly. Tried to take over the world once (UnSX 5), but didn't succeed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### J.A. Tachmek-Smith
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A man who, if all reports are true, would be over ten thousand years old.
|
|
|
|
|
Claims to be the "true king of Egypt", among other things. He's also the
|
|
|
|
|
founder and head of research at Tach-Engine Technologies, and a notable
|
|
|
|
|
philanthropist.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### John "Bigshot" Gunns
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A man who claims to be the "son of Benellus" and "born of shotguns". Created
|
|
|
|
|
Big Shot Industries in order to prepare the world for "the greatest battle
|
|
|
|
|
humanity will face, and the greatest face humanity will battle" (crimes_m).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### LS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The founding parent of the floating island of Sankaideriha, home to all magic,
|
|
|
|
|
who holds the title of "Blackfire manipulator", for having mastered an odd form
|
|
|
|
|
of pyromancy where flames absorb light and emit cold. Commissioned the creation
|
|
|
|
|
of the weapon known as the "Blackfire igniter" from Unissix Crafts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Maester Mekes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Documents found in the ruins of Decade Mechanics show that this was the CEO of
|
|
|
|
|
that company, cross-referencing with historical records from that time also
|
|
|
|
|
show that he was involved with the "mad dictator god" Nedoshiaan and
|
|
|
|
|
kickstarted the incident that would result in the first recorded assassination
|
|
|
|
|
of a deity. It is possible that that incident was related to the facility being
|
|
|
|
|
abandoned, as still living witnesses of the event declared him dead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Nedoshiaan
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "mad dictator god", who ruled a world bearing his own name. Associated with
|
|
|
|
|
several artifacts found within the massive crater where the heart of his
|
|
|
|
|
empire once was. Among them the most notable are the "Nekrodero", "Ynykron",
|
|
|
|
|
"Kyshyje" and "Myssup" artifacts, four weapons that would have been used by
|
|
|
|
|
his personal elite knights, known as the "Warriors of World's End".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Parker Munch
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some guy who can't stop inventing wacky guns. Not much is known about him
|
|
|
|
|
personally. Some people say his name sounds "oddly like something I've heard
|
|
|
|
|
somewhere else".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Reubens C. Karnanaiahmani
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Youngest son of king Marc P. Karnanaiahmani. A prolific inventor, known for
|
|
|
|
|
innovative gadgets such as the "Gravity Suppressor" or the "Hammerspace
|
|
|
|
|
Container", among others.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Saya Miyamoto
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A child prodigy known all over Japan, in part because she's the middle daughter
|
|
|
|
|
to Nana Miyamoto, the woman who shook the country when she claimed to be
|
|
|
|
|
"a descendant of Princess Kaguya". People have remarked on the fact that they
|
|
|
|
|
don't seem to ever age, which only further reinforces Nana's words.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Saya is often called "Not-Tomoko" around the net, in reference to a similar
|
|
|
|
|
looking character from an early 21st century manga series. In terms of
|
|
|
|
|
personality and looks, the resemblance is definitely there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Tetsuya Imanaki
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The founder of the Imanaki Research Foundation and last surviving member of the
|
|
|
|
|
Imanaki family after the Onoke Mansion Murders. After the incident that led to
|
|
|
|
|
the destruction of the research center on Kereshnovka, he pretty much
|
|
|
|
|
disappeared from the public eye.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Unissix Bokurou Azadeku
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Known as the "little enterpreneur" of the Unissix family. She started the
|
|
|
|
|
Unissix Tournaments after years of boredom with the lack of "thrilling, action
|
|
|
|
|
packed arena combat" in bloodsports at the time, which were dominated by the
|
|
|
|
|
"free-for-all battle royale in a large environment" format.

## Technology and Materials
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Akari Labs CuteEmotion Display
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The CuteEmotion Display is a system that allows robots to form simple readable
|
|
|
|
|
facial expressions to further enhance communication with humans. It is equipped
|
|
|
|
|
with an user-expandable library of images that can be associated with any sort
|
|
|
|
|
of emotion the AI may want to convey, whether it's happy or sad, excited or
|
|
|
|
|
bored, calm or angered...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Akari Labs Loudboi Voicebox
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also built with AI in mind, and for those building on a budget or needing very
|
|
|
|
|
small and lightweight vocal capabilities. The Loudboi Voicebox allows an AI to
|
|
|
|
|
speak in any programmed language using simple speech synthesis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Blackmann-Forx Rapid Jet Compensator
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These proprietary, miniature jet engines were designed with the capability to
|
|
|
|
|
compensate for the humanly unbearable recoil of very large caliber Blackmann
|
|
|
|
|
rifles (1.050 and up).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Blackmann Ultra-High Caliber Bullets
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Somewhat inspired by a certain other weapon designer, Blackmann Arms decided to
|
|
|
|
|
jump into the big boolet bandwagon, which resulted in the "Silver Bullet"
|
|
|
|
|
series of ultra-high caliber rifles. Initially starting with the .850 BIG and
|
|
|
|
|
.950 BCG, they kept going, following up with the 1.050 FCB and then the 1.150
|
|
|
|
|
XSG. When people thought that they couldn't go even further beyond that point,
|
|
|
|
|
they devised the 1.350 TAF, although at that point things were starting to
|
|
|
|
|
become way too cumbersome (and excessive) for normal use, so they stopped.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Blackmann Spin Motion Wedge Bullets
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The quite unique ammunition of the "Puntzer" family of weapons. Screw shaped
|
|
|
|
|
bullets that spin rapidly and easily penetrate even the toughest armor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Biosparks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The name given to the "living ball lightning" that comes out of the weapon
|
|
|
|
|
retrieved from the Decade Mechanics facility. In its most advanced forms it
|
|
|
|
|
even seems to have some level of sentience.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Explodium
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An odd and unexplainable material that combusts violently when ignited or
|
|
|
|
|
struck. A single gram of the stuff has the explosive yield of a standard-issue
|
|
|
|
|
hand grenade, which makes it very useful in the creation small bombs. It's
|
|
|
|
|
rumored that such devices could have been used for the assasination of a
|
|
|
|
|
certain rich Japanese family.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Forx JetBurst Impulsor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The JetBurst Impulsor is a flexible, portable propulsion engine that can allow
|
|
|
|
|
increased mobility on power armor or even heavy vehicles. It is however not
|
|
|
|
|
capable of sustained levitation, but that is being worked on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Hammerspace
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What once was thought as mere fiction. Hammerspace is a system that allows for
|
|
|
|
|
the link between a specific container and a large pocket of isolated
|
|
|
|
|
space-time. It allows for the storage of all sorts of things, and can keep food
|
|
|
|
|
fresh practically forever. Storing living things in Hammerspace is however not
|
|
|
|
|
permitted and will immediately void your warranty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### "Kraut Deep Space Magic"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The term used to describe the Wallbuster's unique internal mechanisms,
|
|
|
|
|
referencing how it is even more mind-blowingly insane than the G11's. The
|
|
|
|
|
insane level of complexity of this weapon makes it not only very expensive, but
|
|
|
|
|
also only repairable by members of the Ischer family, personally.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Nokron, Kinylum, Purom and Puronokorokinylum
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exotic materials of undisclosed composition that are capable of reaching plasma
|
|
|
|
|
state at relatively low temperatures. They are mainly used to drive fusion
|
|
|
|
|
engines, but they also have some uses in weaponry. The combination of all three
|
|
|
|
|
results in a highly unstable and volatile mixture that can potentially tear
|
|
|
|
|
holes in space-time if misused. It was, therefore, the ideal choice of
|
|
|
|
|
ammunition for the Ynykron Artifact.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Omnisight Mapping Unit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simple devices used for storing mapping data on a specific location, and ready
|
|
|
|
|
for use in most targetting arrays, as they're pretty much plug and play.
|

## Locations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Kereshnovka
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A "ghost town" located in "the middle of nowhere, Siberia". Impossible to
|
|
|
|
|
locate on maps or triangulate with GPS, as it appears to somehow exist within
|
|
|
|
|
some sort of "barrier". The town is known for the "ghouls" that roam around its
|
|
|
|
|
forest and other surrounding areas, which make travel dangerous to outsiders
|
|
|
|
|
(they appear to ignore the natives). It is also almost entirely inhabited by
|
|
|
|
|
refugees of a humanoid alien species known as the "Qurensniv", who fled their
|
|
|
|
|
homeworld escaping the genocidal wrath of a mad king. Their native language
|
|
|
|
|
has some surprising similarities to Russian.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Nedoshiaan
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The personal playground of the mad dictator god Nedoshiaan, or at least what
|
|
|
|
|
remains of it. After his assassination, most of it was completely obliterated
|
|
|
|
|
and a gigantic crater stands in its place. At the very bottom of it, various
|
|
|
|
|
items were found, among them the "artifacts", one of which is a weapon in this
|
|
|
|
|
mod.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Sankaideriha
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The land of magic. A large island floating in an endless ocean of pure magic
|
|
|
|
|
energy. The vast majority of its inhabitants are magic users. Noteworthy people
|
|
|
|
|
born here include Saniuke Okusainaya, the first technomancer, and Kana Sankai,
|
|
|
|
|
head of the Counter-Inquisition, which strives to protect magic users living
|
|
|
|
|
abroad from persecution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Sunkaeze
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A dead planet on the outer rim of the X'Animen system, thought to be entirely
|
|
|
|
|
barren and inhabitable, until a lone building was found, a factory, built by
|
|
|
|
|
the old mechanical demigod Maester Mekes.
|
